    Title: Mincemeat Pies
    Categories: Pies
    Yield: 1 Batch

    MMMMM---------------------------PASTRY--------------------------------
    4 1/2 c Flour; +2 tb
    3 c Butter
    Water
    1 c Sugar; +2 tb
    2 Ehole eggs
    2 Egg yolks

    MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
    1/2 lb Beef or calves tongue;
    -parboiled and chopped.
    1/4 lb Suet (substitute in butter
    -or vegetable shortening for
    -a vegetarian version)
    1 1/2 c Raisins
    1 1/2 c Currants
    2 Apples; peeled and chopped
    -very small
    1/4 c Sugar
    1/2 Lemon; zest of
    1 c Claret (or other red wine)
    1/2 ts Mace
    1/2 ts Ground cloves
    1/4 ts Nutmeg; ground or grated
    1/4 ts Salt
    1/2 c Candied orange and lemon
    -peel
    1/3 c White wine
    2 tb Butter; cut into small
    -pieces

    Prepare the mincemeat:

    Mix together tongue, suet, raisins, currants, apples, spices, lemon
    zest, sugar, and claret and set aside. Right before you make the
    pies, add the candied peel, white wine, and butter.

    Prepare the pastry:

    * We didn’t test this part of the recipe. Feel free to use your
    favorite pie crust like we did. *

    Put your flour in a bowl. Heat the butter and water in a small
    saucepan until it comes to a boil. Pour into the flour and stir until
    a dough forms. Add the sugar and eggs. Mix until your have a workable
    pastry.

    Make pies:

    Preheat the oven to 425°F.

    Roll out the pastry. Using a pastry cutter or drinking glass, cut
    circles. We used a 2-5/8" (68 mm) pastry cutter to make nice little
    pies. Make sure you have an even number of circles so that you have
    bottoms and lids for all your pies.

    Butter two-three baking sheets. Put 2 ts mincemeat on each bottom.
    (Remember to add the candied peels, white wine, and butter to the
    mincemeat just before!)

    Place a lid on each pie. Push down the edges of the pastry to seal.
    Poke a few air-holes in the lid with with a fork. We brushed the top
    with an egg wash for a golden crust, but this step is optional.

    Bake mince pies for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Sprinkle with
    powdered sugar to serve if you want these to look especially festive.

    And a very good (archaic) recipe fro Mrs. Beeton for mincemeat ---

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Excellent Mincemeat
    Categories: Fruits, Citrus, Beef
    Yield: 1 recipe

    3 lg Lemons
    3 lg Apples
    1 lb Stoned raisins
    1 lb Currants
    1 lb Suet
    2 lb Moist sugar
    1 oz Sliced, candied citron
    1 oz Sliced, candid orange-peel
    1 oz Sliced, candidlemon-peel
    1 Teacupful of brandy *
    2 tb Orange marmalade.

    * The British/UK archaic "teacup" measure is 150 mL or
    5 fl/oz. - UDD

    Grate the rinds of the lemons; squeeze out the juice,
    strain it, and boil the remainder of the lemons until
    tender enough to pulp or chop very finely. Then add to
    this pulp the apples, which should be baked, and their
    skins and cores removed; put in the remaining
    ingredients one by one, and, as they are added, mix
    everything very thoroughly together. Put the mincemeat
    into a stone jar with a closely-fitting lid, and in a
    fortnight it will be ready for use.

    This should be made the first or second week in December.

    Thanks for the vegetarian Mincemeat recipe.

    I try to read all your messages, but some Fidonet messages are going
    missing and i have to play musical chairs BBS edition to find them.

    I notice that one of your mincemeat recipes calls for candid orange
    peels. I am not sure whether that sounds appealing to me. ;)

    Do you do orange marmalde on your toast or panquakes? That's one form
    of candied orange peel. Another is as part of New's Years Doorstops (fruitcake) Here's another .......:

    Title: Candied Orange Peel
    Categories: Five, Citrus, Chocolate
    Yield: 12 peels

    1 lg Navel orange
    3/4 c Sugar
    1/2 c Water
    1/2 c Semi-sweet chocolate chips

    Recipe courtesy of Giada De Laurentiis

    Using a vegetable peeler, cut the orange part of the
    peel from the stem end of the orange down to the navel
    end, forming long 3/4" to 1" wide strips. Bring a heavy
    small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the peels and
    cook for 1 minute. Drain and then rinse the peels under
    cold water. Repeat cooking the peels in the saucepan
    with fresh boiling water and rinsing under cold water.

    Stir the sugar and 1/2 cup of fresh water in a heavy
    small saucepan over medium-high heat until the sugar
    dissolves. Bring to a boil. Add the orange peels and
    simmer over medium-low heat until tender, about 15
    minutes. Using tongs, transfer the peels to a sheet of
    parchment paper to dry slightly, about 1 hour.

    Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir the
    chocolate in a small bowl set over a saucepan of
    simmering water until melted and smooth. Dip 1 1/2
    of each candied orange peel into the chocolate then
    place them on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate
    until the chocolate is set, about 15 minutes.

    Yield: about 12 candied peels
